Dr. Michael Smith’s Fifth Regional
Fishing Book Now Available
(Bluefield)—For the trout and smallmouth bass fisherman hoping to make the most of his time on the lake or stream, Dr. Michael Smith’s recently published Fishing Virginia’s Highlands, is an invaluable resource. Fishing Virginia’s Highlands, the latest of Dr. Smith's five books about fishing in regional lakes and streams, is packed with useful information that enhances the fisherman's appreciation for, and understanding of, the challenges and opportunities embodied in the sport throughout the lakes and streams of the Virginia Highlands. An Associate Professor of English at Bluefield State College, Smith has also written books that serve as an angler's guide for regions that include the Roanoke Valley, New River Valley, Shenandoah Valley and Greenbrier Valley.
Fishing Virginia’s Highlands was compiled following lengthy research and includes a comprehensive map of the region’s streams, with advice for both spinning and fly-fishing. “The Virginia Highlands offer some of the highest yield rivers, lakes, and streams in the state,” he noted. This book offers excellent advice on where, when, and how to catch more fish in this portion of the Commonwealth. Published by the University of Virginia Press, Fishing the Greenbrier Valley can be purchased through Amazon.com and at Barnes & Noble.
